2016 Vauxhall Mokka 1.6L Diesel · MB04 AGE

The vehicle remains roadworthy but the maintenance history indicates a trend of reactive rather than proactive depletive care. The most recent test in June 2025 at 84,094 miles flagged multiple issues including a nearside front anti-roll bar linkage ball joint with play and thinning offside front brake pads. While the vehicle passed, the presence of these mechanical defects suggests that the owner only addresses faults once they reach an MOT failure threshold rather than during routine service intervals. The mileage pattern is remarkably consistent for a ten-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 8,400 miles per annum. There is a noticeable jump in usage between May 2022 and May 2023, where the car covered over 16,000 miles in a single year, compared to the much lower usage seen between 2019 and 2021. Despite this spike, the total mileage of 84,094 miles remains within typical expectations for a Vauxhall Mokka, suggesting the drivetrain and engine components have faced standard loads without excessive mechanical stress. A buyer should conduct a thorough inspection of the braking system and suspension components. The record shows recurring issues with brake wear, noting thin pads in 2020 and 2025, alongside a chafed offside rear brake hose identified in 2023. These entries highlight a need to inspect rubber hoses for cracking and discs for excessive surface corrosion. Furthermore, the play in the anti-roll bar linkage and the history of perishing tyres in 2022 indicate that suspension rubberwork and tyres may be nearing the end of life. The recurring appearance of nails in tyres across 2023 and 2025 also suggests a lack of attention to basic vehicle checks.
